The addition of ROC and Phaneuf is intended to bolster CREW’s case, who legal experts said may not have grounds to sue due to a lack of impact directly affecting the organization, according to the Post. Now, ROC and Phaneuf reportedly plan to assert that their businesses stand to lose out on foreign clients, potentially in town to gain political favor with President Trump, as direct competitors to the Trump Organization’s properties.

Phaneuf said she joined the lawsuit because Trump is “taking business away from me and others with unfair business practices that violate the Constitution,” in a statement, though she declined to cite an example of when a Trump hotel had taken her business away, according to the Post.

The White House and the Trump Administration did not immediately respond to Fortune‘s request for comment.
